Sunlight filters through the canopy as Cyparissus glides through the woods, shadowing his sacred stag. He tenderly brushes leaves from its coat, guiding it to water. Resting, he weaves flowers into its fur. The melancholic youth mounts the beast, flute in hand, playing a soft melody as the stag carries him, a silent pact of trust between mortal and animal.
